David Martinez punched his ticket to the bantamweight top 10 with an impressive performance against Rob Font in the Noche UFC co-main event.
While Font came out looking to put pressure on Martinez early, it was Martinez who outstruck Font by a significant margin. Martinez also did an excellent job of mixing up his strikes, targeting Font’s lead leg and midsection with a series of kicks.
The second round was fairly competitive, but Martinez started to take over in the third as Font’s offense started to slow. With only a few ticks left on the clock, Martinez delivered an all-out blitz, catching Font with a late right that sent the top-10-ranked contender to the canvas.
